When Kate Upton discussed how her and Justin Verlander's shared love of dogs inspired them to host a dog adoption event for the Astros     

In September 2018, Kate Upton revealed how Justin Verlander and her shared love of dogs inspired them to host a dog adoption event for the Houston Astros.

The fourth Annual Grand Slam Adoption Event, a part of Astros Dog Day, marked the couple's fourth year of raising awareness for local animal adoption.

Reinstating Justin and her love for the canines, Kate said:

"We both grew up with dogs, and dogs are a huge part of our lives. It definitely was a big part of our relationship."

She added:

"They're very healing, and they bring so much love into a family."

Agreeing with what Kate said, Justin expressed his love for the little balls of fur:

"We know how important dogs are to a family, and for us to be able to combine our two passions … is a perfect fit."

Take a look at the pawsome (pun intended) pictures:

However, the perfect shot came after a lot of struggle. When Kate and the crew member were not able to tackle Harvey, Justin intervened and helped the celebrity photographer to get some amazing shots.
